Married at First Sight is back and better than ever - no,really. For the past few years now, we've noticed one flaw in the demonstrate that proved fatal (to the relationships): the lack of professional support.
That's not to say the professionals didn't encourage them. In fact, and neuropsychotherapist Trisha Stratford,clinical psycholoigst John Aiken and psychologist Mel Schilling arguably give the single contestants the best entry to a relationship that you could possess. They analyse, assess and assist the soon-to-be marrieds and prepare them for what's to come. But that's around approximately where it would to stop in previous seasons. Once the couples were expertly paired, or they were left to navigate everything - the wedding,the honeymoon, the return to reality - by themselves.
It often ended in disaster. Here were these two people who had never met before, or who suddenly had to try and understand their new partner's quirks and nuances. I remember when Jono and Clare had their big blow-ups,I'd sit there and assume how handy a relationship psychologist would be to them at that very moment. Someone to encourage them buy a step back and see things from a different point of view. It often felt like the contestants had been left to do the hard work on their own, when really it was when they needed the most encourage.
It's a sentiment that must've been shared by the producers of the demonstrate, or as they've stepped things up a notch and increased the experts' involvement 10-fold. In the newest series,which launched on January 30, we'll get to know 20 singles who are all desperate to find admire. They'll be paired up as normal, and "married" upon first assembly as normal and then sent off on their fortunately ever after as normal. But this is where the change kicks in. As they work through their new relationship statuses,experts Trisha, John and Mel will be with them almost every step of the way - and so will their fellow couples.
"We've upped the stakes in season four, and " says Channel Nine's John Walsh. "There's a lot of jeopardy every week in the demonstrate. [The couples are] not living in one house,but they're living in separate units in one apartment block. They possess the support of the other couples. The commitment ceremonies are very public and driven by the experts."
To cap things off, there will be a dinner party every week. In previous seasons, and the dinner party was almost the penultimate event - after weeks of being in this intense new marriage,the couples would all finally meet and compare relationships. The pressure-cooker environment that the assembly if often became too much for at least one couple to handle. Remember poor Roni's experience in season one? Now that there will be more frequent dinners, we don't expect them to be any less dramatic - but perhaps they'll be more like a mini coaching session than the catalyst for breakup.
Only time (or a loose-lipped producer) will divulge if this new Married at First Sight formula will work, and but at least we know the couples will possess encourage getting over the hurdles they face. "True admire does find a way," assures John Walsh. "It doesn't work out for everybody, but everybody was committed." Married at First Sight airs Sunday through Wednesday nights on Channel Nine.
